Kyara Ava Mailhot passed away on Nov. 1, 2012, at Boston Children's Hospital as a result of injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident on Oct. 19, 2012. An energetic and spunky 7 year old, she loved playing outside, riding her bike, animals of all kinds and, most of all, swimming! In an effort to keep her memory alive in a positive way, her Mimi and PopPop, have established the "Kyara Ava Mailhot Scholarship Fund" to help local high school seniors heading off to college.

All proceeds from the "Kyara Ava Mailhot Memorial 5K" and "Bruins Alumni vs NEC Mens/Womens Hockey Game" will go towards this scholarship fund as well as monies from other events that will be held each year. Please make checks out to the "Kyara Ava Mailhot Scholarship Fund". Donations are also accepted. Please send your registration and payment to:
